Patched up last night and received a message to go to DS9 for info on the STF's. You also get a MKX purple gun that is Borg specific. More free goodies !! I also like what they did with Starfleet Academy and moving the Lore and DOFF mission contacts into one of the round buildings.

Thanks for reminding me. I went with a space weapon and upgraded one of my forward Plasma Beam Arrays to Borg specific. Ironically, just before that I saw the Borg incursion in every sector I crossed. After getting the weapon, I couldn't find the Borg anywhere. I even tried chasing REDALERT notices but the Borg would always be gone before I arrived. :-(

I was finally able to do a Defera invasion event. I did four of the single player missions, using the Borg MK X gun I picked up at DS9. It was pretty effective. This is the first time I've had an opportunity to play the Defera invasion missions on holodeck, and I just wish that they ran them a little more frequently.

It is quite a fun event. Have to say the Mirror Universe Event is somewhat insane! Though it did make an eventful mark of my promotion to Vice Admiral (still have half the episodes arcs to do though).

I'm wondering if there could be something for the Admiral ranks that allows you to run 'extra' ships kind of like the DOff system, where you can buy extra ships (or use old ones), select a captain from your BOffs, and send it on its way to missions. Hell, you could spend Starfleet Merit points (if they're still about, haven't looked too heavily at that kind of thing) when beginning a mission to be accompanied by one of your 'fleet' ships. That way, being an Admiral is more like an actual commander in the fleet, rather than a ship captain with a few extra doodats on his rank collar.

I only just head that STO is going free-to-play and this is one mmo I've been wanting to try out, so I'm looking forward to playing with you guys soon. By the way, do you guys think a lifetime membership is worth its price for STO?
